I agree the randomness of Ace AI has probably been taken a bit too far. They do make too many rookie moves, and too often expend all their ammo shooting high over a target aircraft which is flying straight and level, even when sitting on their six. But I wouldn't want them to be super-human either.
However, when play testing my "FW 190 Aces over Italy" mission I once saw the "player" aircraft, flown on autopilot at Ace skill, destroy 10 mixed-skill enemy fighters before returning to base. It may not be a challenge for you Jumo, but I think many human pilots would struggle to match that on hard settings! I admit though, that some of those credited kills would have been pre-damaged by other Fw 190s and/or flak.
